Lea Verou presented at FITC's Web Unleashed 2023 on October 14-16, 2023.
Presentation description:
You may have heard that native CSS Nesting is shipping at a browser near you. You may have even heard that the syntax has changed a fair bit over time, even if youâre fuzzy on the details.
This talk will take you backstage and show you how the sausage is made: the trials and tribulations of designing a syntax that balances developer experience, with performance and implementability.
Yes, you will learn CSS Nesting in great depth. But this is a talk as much about CSS, as it is about the human dynamics of developing languages, products, and APIs that involve cross-functional teams from different organizations. Plus, the many trade-offs and decisions that have to be made before shipping features to the millions of developers worldwide.
